Special Publication Series

IUGG signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Cambridge University Press to publish a series of works entitled "Special Publications of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics" (hereinafter the Series). The Series will be composed of high-quality books, which will review the present state-of-the-art developments, discoveries and/or perspectives in Earth and space sciences around the world.

The first volume of the series "Extreme Natural Hazards, Disaster Risks and Societal Implications” is based on the results of the ENHANS Project led by IUGG and supported by several international, national, and intergovernmental organizations. The book provides an insight on how to reduce the growing impacts of natural hazards on society.

The second volume of the series "Dynamics and Predictability of Large-Scale, High-Impact Weather and Climate Events" is based largely on an International Commission on Dynamical Meteorology (ICDM) workshop and covers a range of important research issues related to high-impact weather and extreme climate events.
